After three astronauts survive a disaster in space, their unscheduled crash-landing leaves them trapped in the crushing depths of the ocean with no contact with mission control and oxygen rapidly running out.

Idris Elba co-directs with Martin Owen and stars in this survival-thriller alongside Caitlin FitzGerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin.

Produced by Gina Carter and Matt Williams from a script by Elizabeth Morris, Matthew Mitchell, and Vicki Sargent, Above the Below stars Idris Elba, Caitlin FitzGerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Above the Below is directed by Idris Elba and Martin Owen.
